When I was living in NYC I mostly took the train, hardly ever the bus.
In fact I only took the bus once by myself. Every other time I was with
someone. I always thought the buses were more confusing. But here in
Chicago I've been trying out the buses. The bus stop is closer to our
apartment than the train, although the train is not far. Well let's
just get to it, today I took the bus by myself.
I knew where I
was going, so I wasn't scared of getting lost, so I'm just trying to
relax and listen to some music. On the way downtown some crazy lady got
on the bus and I noticed she was pretty much having a conversation with
an invisible person. So then of course I take off the headphones and
try to listen in to what she could possibly be talking about to this
invisible person so intensely. She's just crazy man. I can barely hear
what she's saying but it's all nonsense. It's like having a
conversation with your friend at work and you're talking about someone
at work you don't like. She's gossiping to an invisible person. I know
she probably has like schizophrenia so whatever...that was my bus ride
to downtown.
On my way back home it was even CRAZIER! I walked
into a crazy lady having a debate with someone else about racism. And
how one person can't make a difference. It doesn't matter what she does
in life she's not making a difference. Pretty much she has like 4
strangers listening to her and one woman is getting kinda mad about it.
Normally if someone is crazy you should probably just ignore them, but
this woman was like asking the crazy lady questions. And not to mess
with her, to just argue or prove a point against her. There's 2 things
you should do to crazy people: ignore them or mess with them. Never go
along with them hahaha! So the normal lady asked the crazy lady "so
what's your take on God?" So we've went from racism to making a
difference and then a couple of Obama health care reform comments to now
religion. So what's her take on God?..."Listen we all have
earthquakes, hemispheres....atmospheres...." SERIOUSLY...what does that
even mean? I suggest using it though. Good quote.
From
religion we went to terrorism. How we got to that I don't know. Crazy
lady said something like "A terrorist isn't someone out in the desert! A
terrorist is someone taking money out of my paycheck!" There were many
common things that we struggle with every day, that according to this
woman were terrorists. Things I never really thought terrorized me, but
had me second guessing. Especially when she brought up this one: "A
terrorist is when you order an egg-roll and it tastes like fish."
